Overview
The first match of the day in Cluj-Napoca put team Ukraine against team Sweden. Team Sweden will be looking to seal the third place of the group with a victory today, as they already have 2 victories in the previous three matches. Ukraine has lost against the two group favourites TUR and NED, but after a superb win against Finland, they will be looking to cause an upset here. The key figures of today’s game will be the Haak sisters for Sweden, but Olesia Rykhliuk of Ukraine has put on some incredible performances so far. This will definitely be a cat-and-mouse game, extremely interesting to watch.
